My radiator has a leak on the bottom near the outlet hose. Has anyone had one repaired?

I am thinking I should replace it, they are anywhere from about $160 to $200.

It's not to hard to get it out so it's not a big deal if a repair doesn't work and I have to replace it.

Anyone had any experience?

Thanks

 

I think our aluminum radiators are harder to repair successfully that the old copper ones. For that price I'd replace rather than try to repair.

 

I was just cleaning off parts and I saw the splash guard had some large cracks and a big gouge right at the point below where the leak is. It appears that the leak was "trauma" induced so I will replace it.
